In 3DMark's Fire Strike test, the device achieves a score of 8407, which is a significant accomplishment for a system in this size category. The Fire Strike Extended test also scores 27567, demonstrating the PC's ability to handle demanding graphics workloads.

**Time Spy Benchmark Results**

The Time Spy benchmark results are another highlight of our mini PC's performance. With a score of 3712, it's clear that this device is capable of handling demanding games and applications at high frame rates.

**Gaming Performance**

Now, let's take a look at the gaming performance of our mini PC. We've selected ten games to test, with the first three running at 45 watts. The results are impressive across the board, with even the more demanding titles performing well.

**Ginch Impact (1080p High Settings)**

Our first game test is Ginch Impact, which runs smoothly at 60 frames per second on high settings. However, we notice a few instances of framerate drops to 58, possibly due to the high number of particles on screen at the back end of the game.

**Forza Horizon 4 (1080p High Settings)**

Next up is Forza Horizon 4, which runs surprisingly well even on high settings. We average 83 frames per second, demonstrating that this mini PC can handle demanding titles without issue.

**Street Fighter 5 (1080p High Settings)**

Street Fighter 5 also performs admirably, with an average of 96 frames per second at high settings. This game is a great example of the mini PC's ability to handle fast-paced, graphics-intensive games.

**Fortnite (1080p High Settings)**

We move on to Fortnite, which averages 89 frames per second at high settings. This game is another great example of the mini PC's performance, showcasing its ability to handle demanding titles with ease.

**Overwatch (1080p High Settings)**

Next up is Overwatch, which runs smoothly at an average of 96 frames per second on high settings. This game is a testament to the mini PC's ability to handle fast-paced, action-packed games without issue.

**Doom Eternal (1080p High Settings)**

We then test Doom Eternal, which averages 82 frames per second at high settings with no resolution scaling. While we did experience some framerate drops in certain areas, the overall performance is still impressive.

**Dirt 5**

In Dirt 5, we averaged 63 frames per second at a medium-high setting mix, demonstrating that this mini PC can handle demanding racing games without issue.

**GTA V (1080p High Settings)**

Next up is GTA V, which averages 81 frames per second on high settings with a normal mix of graphics settings. This game showcases the mini PC's ability to handle more casual gaming without sacrificing performance.

**Call of Duty Warzone (1080p Normal Settings)**

We test Call of Duty Warzone at 1080p normal settings, averaging an impressive 83 frames per second. While we did experience some framerate drops in certain areas, overall performance is still excellent.

**Cyberpunk 2077 (1080p Low Settings)**

Finally, we test Cyberpunk 2077 at 1080p low settings with a resolution scale of 70. Unfortunately, the mini PC averages only 54 frames per second, which is disappointing considering its overall performance.

**Thermal Performance**

While our mini PC performs admirably, thermal performance is a concern. We've had to jack up the temperature from 45 watts to 65 watts, and even then, it's not ideal. There's a possibility that with some additional cooling, we could see lower temperatures and improved overall performance.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, our mini PC has proven itself to be an excellent gaming PC in this form factor. While thermal performance is a concern, the device still manages to deliver impressive performance across a range of games and applications. With proper cooling, it's possible that we could see even better results from this tiny machine.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey what's going on guys cta prime back here again today we're going to be taking a look at this awesome little gaming pc and when i say gaming pc i mean this is actually a real gaming pc most of the time when we take a look at these mini pcs they're powered by integrated graphics be it intel or amd's apus but this one here actually contains a real nvidia gtx 1650 given it is the mobile counterpart but it'll definitely put out more power than any of the apu's on the market at the time of making this video along with that 1650 this mini pc is actually powered by an i7 9750h they make a few different variants of this from the i5 up to the i9 but i kind of went mid-range with it and along with the pc itself we're also going to receive a user manual we also have our power cable some extra screws for an m.2 we also get all the accessories we need to add a 2.5 inch mechanical or ssd drive and the power supply which is coming in at 150 watts these are available all over the place from amazon to ebay but i picked mine up on aliexpress because it was a bit cheaper i paid 568 shipped to the door for a bare bones unit so i will need to add my own ram and storage but just note if you're interested in picking one of these up you can opt for them to add up to 32 gigabytes of ram and one terabyte of storage for this one here i'm going with 16 gigabytes of ddr4 running at 2666 and a 512 gigabyte nvme ssd basically i already had this stuff laying around so i figured i could save a little bit of money and just add it myself so this thing is actually pretty tiny on the front here we have no i o i kind of wish they would have added at least one usb port but we have a power button up here and moving around back we have our power input usb type c full size display port full size hdmi two usb 2.0 ports 4 usb 3.0 ports gigabit ethernet and a 3.5 millimeter audio jack not much going on around the sides here but we do have ventilation on each and in order to get to the internals there's four screws on the bottom and it just kind of pops right off as you can see we do have a dual fan setup and for being a mobile chipset in this unit the cpu and the gpu this is actually a pretty beefy heatsink here so i think we're going to be able to keep this thing nice and cool it does come pre-installed with wi-fi and bluetooth unfortunately it's only wi-fi five i kind of wish they would have added a wi-fi six card here but this will definitely get you by plus we have gigabit ethernet and since this was the bare bones unit we don't have any ram or storage but uh we can add dual channel ram here i'm gonna go with 16 gigabytes of ddr4 running at 2666 and a 512 gigabyte team force m.2 nvme ssd so i'm going to go ahead and install the ram now and this is a bit tight in here due to that 2.5 inch bracket you can add a single 2.5 inch ssd or mechanical drive but we can slot this ram right in here and basically the last thing i need to add to get this up and running is my m.2 ssd it's super easy to set one of these little mini pcs up so like i mentioned they do offer a few different variants of this but the one i have here is powered by the i7 9750h we have six cores 12 threads base clock 2.6 gigahertz with the turbo up to 4.5 the gpu is the gtx 1650 this is a mobile variant with 4 gigabytes of ddr5 ram plus we have the built-in uhd 630 graphics my setup contains 16 gigabytes of ddr4 running at 2666 and i've installed windows 10 pro on that 512 gigabyte nvme ssd so i'm super excited to get into some testing i really want to see how this thing performs and i got a good feeling it's going to do a great job for its form factor so first things first i wanted to take a quick look at the bios to see what was locked and what wasn't and basically everything's unlocked here we can actually change the tdp directly from the bios but for this video we're going to leave this completely stock just like it came out of the box and i'll worry about adjusting the tdp using intel's tuning utility from within windows all right so here we are i've had some time to mess around with this mini pc and i can tell you that this is actually a really awesome little setup here as you can see we have the i7 9750h and right out of the box it's set at 45 watts but we can change this moving over here to the gpu we have that gtx 1650 4 gigabytes of ddr5 and if you wanted to you can move over to that uhd 630 for lighter tasks and if you did want to do a little bit of overclocking on this gtx 1650 you could do it through afterburner with no issues whatsoever but i'd say the main thing to tune on this little pc is actually the tdp on the cpu i've tested a lot of different configurations here and stock it's at 45 watts the first three games you're going to see running in this video are going to be at 45 watts but from then on i went into intel's tuning utility and i took this up to 65 watts i've also turned the turbo time up to 128 seconds and i noticed a big boost in gaming performance after doing this now it will cause that cpu to get a bit hotter but even from 45 watts to 65 watts my average cpu temp was 81 degrees celsius and that definitely does sound a little high but keep in mind basically what we have here is a laptop with no screen and given that the built-in cooler here is actually cooling the gpu and the cpu going up to 65 watts i think that's pretty decent especially given the form factor of this mini pc so the very first thing i always like to do is run some benchmarks and first up we have geekbench 5 coming in with the single core score of 1098 multi 4988 moving over to some gpu benchmarks using 3dmark first up we have knight raid with the 27567 fire strike 8407 and finally time spy with a 3712 so yeah not bad at all across the board here but we really picked this up for gaming so let's see what it can do i have 10 games to test here and keep in mind the first three are running at 45 watts so first on the list we have ginchen impact 1080p high settings and it's running really well here we're at 60 now i did notice a couple drops down to 58 when there was a lot of particles on screen at the very back end of the i7 97 58 you can see we're at that 45 watt tdp moving over to forza horizon 4 1080p high settings i actually didn't expect it to run it this well um i know we're only at high you could probably go up the epic with this and lock it at 60 and run it like that all day but i think high still looks really great and we got an average of 83 fps out of this one moving over to street fighter 5 1080p high settings you're not going to have any problem running this one so now with the rest of the games you're gonna see running in this video i've taken the tdp on that cpu up to 65 watts here's fortnite 1080p high settings we got an average of 89 fps totally playable like this it's looking pretty good overwatch 1080p high settings we averaged 96 fps and going into this i knew that we were going to have really good performance with it this is just a very well optimized game here we have doom eternal 1080p high settings with no resolution scale going so we're at 100 we got an average of 82 fps i also wanted to test out dirt 5. now with this one here i did have to take some of the settings down to medium so we have a high medium mix but we're still at 1080p with a 100 resolution scale and it averaged 63 fps here's gta 5 1080p with a high normal mix i had to take some of these down but we averaged 81 fps out of this really good performance given that this is such a small form factor pc here's call of duty warzone 1080p normal settings and i thought it would have to turn dynamic resolution on to get this to run well but we actually averaged 83 fps out of this one you will see it dipped down to around the 70s every once in a while but overall it is playable on this little machine in the final game i wanted to test here with cyberpunk 2077 1080p low settings with 70 resolution scale we averaged 54 fps i actually thought it would do a little better than this but it's a really hard game to run so overall i'm really impressed with the performance here and this is definitely one of the best performing mini pcs in this form factor that i've ever tested on the channel it definitely beats out any of the ryzen apus or intel integrated graphics by far i would have loved to see lower cpu temps but you know i did jack this up to 65 watts i mean what was i expecting there's a good chance that if i remove this heat sink and apply some good thermal paste we could take the temps down by a little bit but overall it just doesn't look like there's enough cooler here to keep this thing nice and cool at 65 watts even with some really good thermal paste like i said there's a chance we could get a few degrees down but the way it's sitting right now it's not thermal throttling and i think it's doing a pretty decent job so i will have at least one more video coming up with this mini pc i definitely want to test out some emulation but if there's anything else you want to see on this even if you just want me to replace this thermal paste and do some more testing if you're interested in picking one of these up i will leave a few links in the description and you could do just like i did you can buy one bare bones if you already have some ram and storage laying around and save you some money but so far this thing's been working out really well and if you're looking for a small form factor gaming pc this is something i could recommend especially with pc part prices and gpu prices the way they are right now but that's going to wrap it up for this one and like always thanks for watchinghey what's going on guys cta prime back here again today we're
